SLAPO-GLUE(5)

NAME
slapo-glue - Backend Glue overlay

SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
The Backend Glue overlay can be used to glue multiple databases into a single namingContext. The overlay must be configured on the root database of the context, and any other databases must be explicitly configured as subordinates of the root database. All of the participating databases should have identical rootdns. All search and write operations will be intercepted by this overlay. Searches against the root database will be propagated to all the subordinates. Write operations will pass unaltered to the relevant target database. Note that any overlays on the root database configured before this overlay will fail to execute. As such, the glue overlay should always be the first overlay configured on the root database.

CONFIGURATION
These slapd.conf options apply to the Backend Glue overlay. They should appear after the overlay directive and before any subsequent database directive.

glue-sub <suffix-DN> [async] [advertise]
    Specify the suffix of a database to attach as a subordinate to the root database. The specified database must have already been configured. If the optional async keyword is supplied, searches against this database may be spawned in a separate thread to run concurrently with other operations (currently not implemented). If the optional advertise flag is supplied, the naming context is advertised in the rootDSE.
